Reminds me of the sign I saw at the Masonic hall on the corner, which is now a hard rock/punk venue since the Masons had to sell it a decade ago.

Here in the People’s Republic of Portland (Oregon) we don’t allow indoor smoking at public venues, so there’s a fenced-off area of sidewalk for the smokers to go outside between sets. They exit from the door in the middle of the block, but it’s locked to keep people from sneaking in without paying. Smokers have to reenter the hall through the door down at the corner, same as the people who are just arriving.

The sign is near the exit door, and one night it read as follows: “It is said that when door closes, another opens. That door is around the corner.”
